Haystack Weekend Workshop and Silent Auction a success!

On a (mostly) bright and sunshiny May weekend 42 craft artists settled into Haystack Mountain School of Craft for the 25th annual Maine crafts Association Haystack Weekend Workshop. Artist instructors from all over the United States worked with eager and talented Maine Craft artists throughout the weekend and created some very beautiful and fun work. A great time was had by all, especially at the silent auction, which helped raise over $2000 for the education programs of the Maine Crafts Association. A special thank-you to all who contributed work to the auction. We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
